Today I redefined God

I don’t see God as the old grey man with the wise look on his face watching down on us. In other words, I don’t perceive God as men has defined ‘Him’ for centuries. Furthermore, I was not raised according to any religion, but by the best effort of my parents. I have explained in an earlier post that when I was ‘young’ I was thinking in very black and white images. And I think I considered myself an atheist. But over the years I got inspired by The Secret, the Law of Attraction, Abraham-Hicks, Deepak Chopra, Bashar and many others. The level of inspiration I get in my life today is so much greater by my ability to allow.

During this process of change I started to think about the ‘concept’ of God. I deliberately let go of any current image or association I had with the word God. This sounds easier then done, as I was indoctrinated with the different flavors of God. I can not say I was able to fully let go, but enough to allow a definition come to me. And today, while being silly on Twitter I read some tweets of @ihatequotes:

You say: “It’s impossible.” God says: “All things are possible.” #ihatequotes
You say: “I can’t do it.” God says: “You can do all things.” #ihatequotes
You say: “I am always worried and frustrated.” God says: “Cast all your cares on me.” #ihatequotes
You say: “I feel all alone.” God says: “I will never leave you or forsake you.” #ihatequotes
You say: “I am not able.” God says: “I am able.”#ihatequotes
You say: “Nobody really loves me.” God says: “I love you.” #ihatequotes
The lesson: “Have faith! Believe, God is there just for you.” Have a nice day! #ihatequotes

And it just hit me:

You say: Who are you? God says: You are me experiencing you. /cc @ihatequotes

I had redefined God. Enjoying that feeling for a while I came with the ‘final’ definition:

“I am God experiencing me.”

I want to to share some of the most important basics of how I ended up with this definition. I think most were triggered by Deepak Chopra:

God = Source Energy = The Highest Self
God is the source of consciousness, or even consciousness itself, ‘it’ doesn’t experience itself
God is the creative energy and creates by experiencing
God experiences by focusing energy. You are focused energy in this time-space reality

As I mentioned before, every definition is personal, as it is defined by our experience, our point of view.

I would love to hear your point of view on this.

Stop bashing your ego!

The human race loves the blame game. Something or someone has to be blamed for the shadows in us. For centuries we had the devil to blame. The red guy with the two pointy horns and the tail with an arrow-shaped tip. He represented our dark side, and for many of us still does. With the upcoming discovery of our true Self we realized the horny red man actually does not really exist. But if we can not blame him, who will represent our shadows, our dark side? As god and the devil are true opposites it is evident we need something that is the opposite of our higher self. Well, that is easy: our lower self. Or even better: our local self, the ego.

The spiritual growth of the human race is something I truly cherish. I believe this will only accelerate in the coming years and we will be more connected as individually unique as ever before. But we need to stop bashing the ego, our ego. Why are we still playing that blame game? If you truly understand the concept of the higher self, which represents unconditional love, you will appreciate and love the ego, your ego.

Your ego is that part of the energy of your higher self focused in this time-space reality, the third dimension. And because it is so strongly focused it has a narrow-minded perspective in comparison to our true self. It represents the anger and fear we feel feel, our survival instinct, or in other words: the desire to stay focused. If you keep bashing it and blaming it for everything you define as evil its anger and fear will only grow stronger. But when you appreciate your ego (your shadows), cherish it, talk to it from the perspective of higher self it will relax and you will experience a lot more joy in your life.

Have fun and love your ego. It’s the very reason why you are here in this time-space reality, the third dimension.

I am God

When man started to talk about God in the third person – I do not know if man ever did otherwise -, the connection with the higher Self was lost and the knowing that man is the creator of it’s own life turned to a suffocating believe system that their is a master of puppets controlling every bit of their life.

You can get on your knees and beg the big master not to cut your string, but there is no guarantee. He has a masterplan, and if you play by his rules you can play a glorious part filled with abundance and happiness. But if you are a sinner…

We are living in an era were we are changing our perspective from third person to the drivers seat. “I am God”. Doesn’t that feel great? Yes, it does! No, you don’t get to be the master of puppets as you do not control anyone but yourself. But isn’t that what the drivers seat is all about? You can not control the way other people are driving. But you can make driving a really pleasant experience by relaxing and enjoying the journey not rushing your way to whatever goal you have set. It’s a never ending journey, and if you think you have reached you goal, you already enter the next in your navigation system.

I really like the analogy with the navigation system. We all innately know were we want to go in relation to any subject our attention is focused upon. It is entered in our system. Our emotions will tell us at any point in time where we are in relationship to where we want to be. As long as we listen, we will be heading in the right direction. But when we don’t, we get lost.
